摘要
One of the most important applications of the general purpose Monte Carlo N-Particle (MCNP5 and MCNPX)) codes is neutron shielding design. We employed this method to simulate the shielding of a 14-MeV neutron generator used as a thermal neutron source providing an external thermal neutron beam for testing large area neutron detectors developed for diffraction studies in biology and also useful for national security applications.
